Windows-Tools on CD-ROM (or USB stick)
http://www.dirk-loss.de/win-tools.htm

Having created several bootable Windows CD-ROMs with Bart's PE Builder,
I recently thought how nice it would be if I could use some of the plugins on
running systems (i.e. without having to reboot). So I searched the Internet for
useful utilities that can be run directly from CD-ROM. These were my requirements:

Must be available free of charge (at least for non-commercial use). If source code
is available under a Free Software/Open Source license, that's even better.
Small is beautiful
Graphical user interfaces are nice (this is Windows after all...
My focus is on diagnostic, network and security tools (no games or MP3 players...)
Here's my list. Download the tools, exctract the archives to a folder on your harddisk
and burn them on a CD-ROM. Or put them on your USB-stick. If you leave out all unnecessary files (documentation, language files, etc.) and compress all executables
with UPX, all these tools together (more than 600 executables)
take less than 100 MB of disk space.

If you have any comments or suggestions write to: mail at dirk-loss de.

Optional: Use the tools together with PE Builder:
If you want a really nice CD-ROM, start PE Builder, tell it to include the tools folder
on the CD-ROM (by entering the path as a 'custom directory' on the start screen)
and create appropriate entries for the Nu2menu system. You can download my
Nu2Menu-file as an example. By using PE Builder you can optionally run the tools
from a clean (rescue) system running completely from CD-ROM. And you have a
nice menu that automatically starts when you insert the CD-ROM into a
running Windows system.
